Puzzles today carry many. They are useful for the mind, develop motor skills well and provide an opportunity to test one's own abstract and logical thinking. One of the most popular and challenging puzzles of our time is Soma cubes.
Soma cubes are some three-dimensional polycubes that make up a set of bones of seven elements, six of which are derivatives of four regular geometric shapes and only one is a three-cubic three-dimensional figure.
It should be noted that in the complex, these funny details, which eventually turned into a fundamental game of the mind, make up the correct square.
And the inventor of this strange fun was none other than a certain Mr. Pete Hein, who was thinking about the theory of spatial structure during lectures on quantum physics. Since then, 27 funny cubes have captured the entire planet and forced people to not only spend their free time building more and more spatial figures, of which there are more than two hundred today, but even to hold competitions, showing the incredible speed of creating these or those given bodies of this strange playing math puzzle.

Psychologists have proved a direct connection between the level of intelligence and the ability to perceive and successfully cope with the tasks of the game. In addition to spatial thinking and the fundamentals of geometry, Soma cubes allow you to develop imagination and intuition, reveal designer preferences, give your imagination the opportunity to get out and are quite suitable for children under five as simple puzzles.
Initially, such an activity takes a sufficient amount of time and effort, however, understanding the basic principles of the puzzle, you can easily make up a pyramid, a dog or a skyscraper from seven numbered three-dimensional figures, or perhaps prove the impossibility of creating various spatial bodies.
